Radiation Treatment

Varian TrueBeam

Varian TrueBeam is used to treat cancer without incisions or surgery in just minutes a day.

The TrueBeam technology combines a 3-D imaging system and a respiratory monitoring system, which allow doctors to see tumors before each treatment and track breath patterns. This ensures pinpoint accuracy so healthy tissue remains intact.

TomoTherapy

The TomoTherapy® Hi-Art® System combines a radiation treatment system with a built-in CT scanner. It combines Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) — the most advanced form of radiation therapy currently available — with non-invasive imaging so doctors can view the tumor location in 3-D before each treatment.

Seeing the shape of the tumor allows radiation beams to be delivered with extreme precision, reducing side effects and damage to healthy tissue. IGRT technology is exclusive to TomoTherapy.

The TomoTherapy Hi-Art Treatment System is the region's most advanced form of radiation therapy, offering:

The TomoTherapy Hi-Art Treatment System can be used for both adult and pediatric patients and multiple tumors simultaneously. TomoTherapy may be a treatment alternative for individuals who have already gone through radiation treatments and have been told they cannot receive any more treatment.

Patients usually experience:

Reduced side effects, because less healthy tissue is impacted during radiation therapy, resulting in faster recovery times that enable patients to return to their daily activities sooner.

Integrated CTrue™ technology, that allows CT scans of the treated area to be taken at the time of treatment, providing the most up-to-date information regarding the shape, size and location of the tumor, allowing for the most accurate treatment and saving healthy tissue.

How is People-in-Line Calculated?

FastTrack ER

People-in-Line is the number of patients checked-in and waiting for a physician at a Renown Health ER or FastTrack ER.
We refer to this as our "door-to-doc" time. The number of people in line is updated every 10 minutes.

FastTrack ER

An ER nurse will determine the urgency and complexity of the care you need.
If your condition is less severe and requires no more than one hospital resource (X-Ray, lab tests, etc.) the ER nurse may assign you to a FastTrack ER where you will receive care sooner.

Urgent Care

People-in-Line is the number of patients checked-in at Renown Health Urgent Care waiting to be seen by a healthcare provider.
A patient's wait time may vary.

Urgent Care vs Emergency Care

There may be times when you want to see a healthcare provider right away but don't have serious or life-threatening condition.
